If there's one thing in this world
That I can't stand the most
It's getting home after working all day long
And to see a bunch of bad news on

They make it sound like the good life
Has up and gone away
And that gets me down, I believe these
Are still the good ol' days

These are still the good ol' days
No matter what the teachers, the neighbors
Or the preachers say
I don't have too long for yesterday
No Lord, these are still the good ol' days

I can still go outside and find me an old shade tree
And I still got time to wet a line
In the middle of little pond creek
And I could catch a nap or catch a cat
Either one would be okay
And that proves me right
I believe these are still the good ol' days

Yeah, these are still the good ol' days
No matter what the teachers, the neighbors or the preachers say
I don't have too long for yesterday
No Lord, these are still the good ol' days

Oh, these are still the good ol' days
No matter what the teachers, the neighbors or the
Preachers say
And I don't have too long for yesterday
No Lord, these are still the good ol' days

Oh, I still get to catch all the Braves games
Yeah, these are still the good ol' days
Oh, Lord
